As for insurance, have you got a quote with a parent listed as a named driver? My brother did this with his MR2 and brought the price down by about £200.

I'll try that in April when I renew the Range Rover :lol: :lol:

Well my brother is 21 and drives a 1988 MR2 (he found an absolutely perfect one after some searching). £900 or so fully comp from Admiral with non-original alloys (on the car when he bought it) declared, parents are named drivers as am I. Not bad for a 1.6 two seater sports car considering he hasn't got any no claims bonus.
I can only assume that there aren't many 20 year old MR2s left, and they're not popular with the badly modified Saxo crowd. In other words, he's probably a better risk in that than in some less interesting new cars!

Well done mate. But youll not be towing a bobtail on your license. You need to do another to be able to tow over 750kg. :(

A chap in the MR2 Mk1 club is paying £2,000 and he's 21. He has no points and a year's no claims.
Why is there such a difference (as mentioned earlier)? Well, take a look at this. The differences between an A and F* (I'm the latter) zones can be as much as £2,000 or perhaps even more on some vehicles. Someone I knew with a Series 88 2A like mine was paying £200 fully comp unlimited mileage, and was only 17. Meanwhile the cheapest I can get is £1,200 with one year's no claims and Pass Plus. This is all because I live in a high risk post code (thank you you bloody rioters!) and the other chappy lives in a low risk.

Well done Doug
